In July 2017, Jill Fergusson’s ( aka Fleck) teenage daughter, AF, ran away from home after suffering years of abuse by her father’s live in girlfriend, Karie Travis ( aka Karie Fleck). Ms Travis is a convicted drunk driver, and who according to three sources, has been in engaged in a bi-sexual relationship with Spokane County Judge Annette Plese.

Source also state that Karrie Travis brags that Judge Annette Plese is fixing cases as favors to Karrie in exchange for Ms. Travis’s silence. Sadly, Spokane County court records support this post. More on this topic soon.

In my past articles, my readers should remember two things. Spokane County has been stealing children with the assistance of one Superior Court Judge, Annette Plese, and two Spokane County Commissioners, Rachelle Anderson and Nichole Swennumson. These political appointees list their bios in https://www.spokanecounty.org/1608/Commissioners and before their names they use the word ” honorable.”

From the next blog one thing should be clear, there is nothing honorable about stealing from Washington State’s elderly, stealing children and fabricating evidence to ensure convictions for money, sex and drugs.

Those who have the knowledge and skills to fight corruption who do not have no backbone and are part of why America will be become a 3rd World country unless Judicial Immunity for fabricating evidence is abolished

As a former domestic violence coordinator and a former Washington State Bar attorney, I know a drug addict by voice. I can spot them a mile away. I can also spot an abuser by listening and watching behavior. For those who know me, know one thing, I despise people who abuse our children and our elderly. Sitting idle while this happens is not something my parents taught me to do, regardless of the cost.

A colleague said to me ‘the answer to corruption is sunshine, open government.” How right she is, however, we cannot do it without the assistance of the federal courts stepping in when injustice occurs. However, lately, the federal courts have been slow to respond to why Washington State judges and prosecutors should not enjoy judicial immunity when they fabricate evidence and commit crimes against citizens.

Hopefully, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals will take the bull by the horns by agreeing that here in Washington State, Our State Constitution actually prohibits immunity to anyone not enjoyed by all.

If America is going to survive, the federal courts must step in to stop the racketeering and Sherman Anti-Trust violations committed against those who speak out against the countless malicious prosecutions committed by the Washington State Bar Association, by and through its elite members associated with the Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel. If not, America will become a 3rd World country soon.

Spokane County, Racketeering Exposed

In April 2015, after hearing from a Spokane County mother named Jill Fleck about a horrific story about how Spokane County Judge Annette Plese and a Commissioner named Rachelle Anderson stole her child, I contacted Judge Plese and spoke with her on the phone for about 45 minutes. In the 45 minutes I spoke with Judge Plese one thing was clear, the judge was “high as a kite.” Bigger question for those of us trying to rid Washington State of the criminals ruining our political system, who is Spokane County’s supplier is a much bigger story.

First, I’d like my readers to know I’ve spent the last twenty four months sorting and sifting through hundreds of Spokane County files and public records, listening to countless 911 calls and reading countless police reports before publishing this story.

Spokane County protecting its drug suppliers

In 2014, the Washington State Bar Association decided to violate my civil rights on behalf of the known pedophile, wife beater, and a fired/disgraced Snohomish County employee who killed 43 people in the Oso mudslides, John E. Pennington, my reports were really dedicated to exposing local corruption in Snohomish County Washington.

Why the Washington State Bar Association decided to assist racketeering member John E. Pennington is because he knows of the racketeering scheme involving Washington State Bar members, including, but not limited to, convicted killer Mark Plivilech, attorneys Lin O’Dell, Doug Ende, and Linda Eide theft and looking the other way on prosecutors who maliciously prosecute our citizens with fabricated evidence to protected their stealing from our elderly scheme and drug trafficking.

My readers will be happy to know that Mark Plivilech is married to a Washington State Bar hearing officer Lin O’ Dell ( who was recently convicted of guardian fraud thanks in part to my investigation of her). A source stated that Lin O’ Dell and Mark Plivilech are trying to flee across as the Texas Mexican U.S. Border as of late last week.

In many ways, I am thankful for the Washington State Bar Association for helping me see and shed light on the massive organized crime ring involving many public officials inside Washington State government. Had the Washington State Bar not come after me, government criminals like John E. Pennington, his convicted bank frauding wife Crystal Hill Pennington ( convicted of bank fraud 2000, and 2005 using an aliases of Chris Hill and Crystal Berg), and convicted thief and Washington State Bar Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell would have stayed under the radar. Instead, John E. Pennington was fired for his crimes against me and Lin O’Dell has fled Washington State and criminal fraud charges are mounting. Stayed tuned.

Washington State Judiciary, ‘ Children and our elderly for sale, to the highest briber or those who can barter for drugs.”

Our entire Washington State judiciary should hold up signs saying “ For sale to highest bidder, but if you’re poor, you’re out of luck, and your kids stolen, and we allow Washington State Bar members like attorney Lin O’Dell to steal from our elderly with no oversight. Criminals who are drug dealers and wife and child abusers who lander money to pay off the judges.”

Washington State is great place to raise kids and do business as the criminals have taken over our government offices.

Spokane Judge Annette Plese, and Spokane County Commissioners Anderson and Nichole Swennumson are just two cockroaches who need a lot of sunshine. Sooner rather than later before our Medicaid system is bankrupt in favor of an elite few who have known ties to organized crime ring.”

Racketeering, Spokane County Superior Court Judges exposed

Two years ago, I met a sane mother of two , Jill Fleck, who just like pedophile and wife beater John E. Pennington’s ex-wife here in Snohomish County, lost custody of children to a criminal because of judicial corruption. In Ms Fleck’s case, Judge Annette Plese ( who with no surprise is also a personal and dear friend to corrupt Washington State homophobic Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen) knowingly gave custody of Ms Fleck’s children to a convicted drug dealing car thief, Chuck Fleck, and his convicted drunk driving live in girlfriend, Karrie Travis (who often lies claiming to be married to Chuck Fleck, and uses an alias of Karrie Fleck).

At the time Judge Annette Plese gave custody of Jill Fleck’s two minor children to a convicted felon drug dealer and thief, Ms. Fleck’s only crime was shoplifting when she was younger. Since that time Judge Plese and attorney Susan Embree have misused their political influence to have Ms Fleck charged with receiving stolen goods, a case that was tossed out by the Court of Appeals. Why? Thanks to RCW 42.56, the Public Records Act we were able to obtain public emails illegally withheld from Jill Fleck during her trial.

Discovered in public emails, Spokane County Detective Stacey Carr, lied on the stand and was caught forging a police report. Why? As a political favor from udge Annette Plese to discredit Jill Fleck, who has been extremely out spoken about Spokane County involving a pay off system in Spokane County Superior Court and to justify the stealing of Jill Fleck’s two minor children. Clear racketeering.

As early as two weeks ago, attorney Susan Embree intentionally lied to Commissioners Rachelle Anderson and Nichole Swennumson again lying to the court claiming that Jill Fleck was a convicted felon involving the case that was tossed out by WA Court of Appeals III for fabricating evidence against Jill. Remember, the case against Jill Fleck’s, in part, thanks to my ability to obtain public records amounting to Spokane County’s malicious prosecution of Jill Fergusson ( aka Fleck) was overturned over a year ago.

Stealing children for drugs and bribes, Welcome to Spokane County

While Jill is still fighting for custody of her children, Jill’s ex Charles Fleck convicted during her custody battle of stealing cars and transporting them across state lines for the purpose of supporting his car- chop- shopping and drug businesses. A business Charles Fleck ran on EBay until he was chastised by a Montana federal court judge for lying on his financial indigence form obtaining a public defender on false pretenses.

Chuck Fleck’s criminal activity was captured on video by a good Samaritan and confirms beyond any shadow o a doubt that Charles Fleck was transporting stolen cars from Montana to his home in Spokane. Charles Fleck plead guilty to felony charges in US federal court, Great Falls Montana. Evidence Judge Annette Plese knew about before she decided to give a convicted felon custody of two minor children.

In 2016, three sources confirmed that Judge Annette Plese was engaged in an bi-sexual relationship with Chuck Fleck’s live in girlfriend Karrie Travis ( aka Karrie Fleck), and Chuck Fleck was dealing drugs from his Spokane County garage with his attorney Susan Embree’s convicted felon drug dealing son.

My readers should be happy to know that Judge Annette Plese not only stole Jill’s two minor children to assist Spokane County’s racketeering drug and stealing from our elderly schemes, Judge Plese also granted full custody to attorney Susan Embree ( whose son is known drug dealer using Susan Embree’s home in Spokane and is within one block of an East Valley Elementary. Embree’s son continues to deal drugs inside Embree’s home) of her grand children.

Public pictures document that Judge Annette Plese and attorney Susan Embree are drinking buddies. For this, Judge Annette Plese should have never been on any case involving Susan Embree in any. But those silly little WA State Bar rules don’t apply to judges, prosecutors and government officials. In fact, we could find no Washington State Bar prosecution involving prosecutors and/or public defenders ( another topic coming soon).

Chuck Fleck’s personal racketeering Enterprise assistant attorney Susan Embree, is a twice convicted drunk driver whose Facebook pictures look more like a thug running for the Mafia than that of an attorney; she also has extensive federal tax liens and refused to file her federal income tax returns. So much so that Susan Embree was sued in US federal Court by the IRS and the Washington Attorney General. Ms Embree is a stellar convicted criminal with a WA State Bar license with known ties to convicted thief and Washington State Bar hearing officer Lin O’Dell.

In July 2009, Gold Bar’s then Mayor Joe Beavers bragged to a council member that e are going to get Block’s Washington State Bar license . . . and the Washington State Bar was fixing cases inside Washington State Courts.

Presumably for exposing corruption inside Washington State using public records access as that avenue.

Sound familiar?

Since 2010, attorney Susan Embree and Judge Plese’s bi-sexual lover Karrie Travis brag that they have the fix in with Spokane Superior Court Judges. Spokane Country attorney Susan Embree, Karrie Travis, and Chuck Fleck criminally stalk Jill Fleck on a regular basis. I have countless false 911 calls to support each should be in prison for filing false 911 phone calls.

According to several sources, when attorney Susan Embree enters the court, providing almost free legal services to drug dealer Chuck Fleck and Karrie Fleck ( who is guilty of physically, verbally and mentally abusing Jill’s daughter, AF) she reeks of booze and files countless and frivolous motion after frivolous motion always with the same judges and two specific Commissioner Rachelle Anderson and Nicole Swennenson (Spokane).

Up until recently, Ms Embree shared an office at 1312 Monroe St Spokane Washington with another criminal, attorney Lin O’Dell. But what I learned is that Susan Embree and Chuck Fleck and Karrie Travis are part of drug trafficking ring operating inside Spokane County. This operation involves several Spokane County Sheriff’s Officers, Turner and Chamberlain ( more on Spokane County Sheriff’s Officers drug trafficking scheme soon).

Gonzaga Law School, graduating the majority of the criminals inside Washington State

If attorney Lin O’Dell had not accepted financial bribes from terminated/ disgraced Snohomish County employee John E. Pennington, I would have never learned that the Fowler/Shank case in Stevens County was not an isolated incident documenting Washington State Bar hearing officer/attorney Lin O’Dell’s stealing from our elderly and Spokane County Judges involvement in the ” Spokane County corruption scheme.” So in some ways, my readers have the Washington State Bar and attorney Lin O’ Dell to thank for helping rid Washington State of the criminals running our judiciary.

In 2016 the Honorable Justice Alex Kozinski issued a scathing opinion in the Joshua Frost case involving government misconduct. Sadly, Jill Fleck’s case uncovered much much more, involving a pay off system inside Spokane County Superior Courts using drugs , stolen cars, and a dangerous convicted felon, Charles Fleck and his convicted drunk lawyer, Susan Embree and her convicted drug dealing felon son.

Today, I take notice with the New York Times for starting their first story on the malicious prosecutions happening all over America. Bravo to wonderful reporters who uncovered Shelby County Tennessee for what I consider to be racketeering.

In 2010, Jill Fleck’s attorney suggested to her that if she could come up with $60,000.00 Judge Plese would give back custody of her two children. The attorney knew that Jill Fleck’s relative was a sports star. After learning this, I personally picked up the telephone and called Judge Plese asking her for comment as to a series of stories coming as it relates to her decision to give custody to a violent convicted felon named Charles Fleck and in his live in girlfriend Karrie Travis ( whose live in daughter was recently charged with aiding criminal assistance to a Spokane County murderer who with no surprise Judge Plese gave complete immunity to for testifying against him but not before commiting countless judicial ethics violations by the accused forcing Judge Plese off this case.)

Judge Plese spoke to the Gold Bar Reporter for an hour sounding more like a drug addict than that of a member of the judiciary. Judge Plese acted like she knew nothing of Charles Fleck’s extensive criminal history of assaulting women and children ( CPS records which I have but since records involve minor children I do not feel comfortable posting as children are always the innocent victims of their mentally adults), drug trafficking and his chop shopping federal conviction from Montana even though public records confirm Judge Plese knew of Chuck Fleck’s extensive criminal history since 2011 and prior to awarding him custody of Jill Fleck’s kids.

Attorney Susan Embree and Commissioner Rachelle Anderson and Nichole Swennumson refused comment, but public records are clear that a violent convicted criminal Chuck Fleck and his live in mentally ill girlfriend Karrie Travis ( who was abused as child her self and issue I will not posted) was given custody because he was able to meet the pay off demand using Fleck’s drug dealing and car-shop shopping business. A business Chuck Fleck has yet to pay any federal income tax on). Something Jill Fleck could not do because she is poor; Jill’s income’s amounts to less than $12,500.00 per year.

I’d like my readers to know this story is just one of a series of articles (with public records ) I intend to post involving Spokane County’s racketeering schemes.

I promise a good read that supports a criminal racketeering investigation of Spokane County Judge Annette Plese, Commissioner Rachelle Anderson and attorney Susan Embree. So much so that I am asking for Honorable Justice Kozinski to send the National Guard to protect Washingtonians from the criminals who have hijacked our government.

Late last summer, a person close to Karrie Travis and attorney Susan Embree threatened me via email and by voice message. As a result, I posted a story.

One last fact: Judge Plese and Commissioner Rachelle Anderson are not totally without a heart, they did allow Jill supervised visitation, once a month.

According to Jill’s lawyer, ‘convicted pedophiles have more access to their children than Jill does.”

This fact leaves me to conclude that Judge Annette Plese was worried that Jill’s children might start singing. Well I am happy to report that Judge Annette Plese’s fears are coming true and its music to my hears, so stay tuned.

More soon on this story as we have more evidence to post involving two Spokane County Prosecutors and Sheriff’s Officers involved in Spokane County’s ‘ little racketeering scheme.

Late last summer, the Gold Bar Reporter was first to break a story about the Washington State Bar Association’s dropping the word ” association.”

Our source, an insider close to Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen stated ” the WSBA is trying to come up with a plan to push liability off on Washington State taxpayers, because it’s clear that the Bar is going to lose Scannell v WSBA et al. and Block v WSBA et al. over felonious racketeering and anti-trust violations. ”

We just learned that Washington State Bar Association has officially voted to drop the word association, in an effort to push liability of 50 Million plus onto Washington State taxpayers, instead of pushing liability to its’ members the above two cases.

In Block’s cases, public records from Snohomish County and the United States Post Office documented that John Pennington ( man who killed 43 people in the Oso mudslides, only suspect in the rape of 5 year old girl from Cowlitz County Washington, and is now working for Pierce College), set up a post office box in Duvall Washington to pass financial bribes to attorney Lin O’Dell and her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech, while at the same time, John Pennington is the man, according to the lead detective on a Cowlitz County case from 1992, the man who is responsible for the rape of a 5 year old girl. Instead of suing Block, John Pennington enlisted his friend Linda Eide, Washington State Bar’s lead counsel, and Washington State Bar Board member Geoffrey Gibbs, to go after Block, a journalist who held a WSBA Bar license, for reporting on John Pennington criminal conduct.

In John Scannell ‘s case, Washington State Bar counsel members Scott Bugsby and Linda Eide tried to gain access into John Scannell’s attorney client files in an effort to go after a Board member’s political foe and Scannell’s client Paul King.

A source said ” The Bar knows that once you two win, you’re coming after them personall to collect damages, starting with members of the WSBA Office of Disciplinary Counsel.”

Washington State Bar’s letter to its members

IMPORTANT – if you want the WSBA to continue as your professional association, you should attend one or more of three upcoming meetings at the Seattle WSBA offices, discussed more completely below:

These changes are being implemented incrementally for tactical reasons, but are designed and intended ultimately to:

Substantially reduce the ability of Members to influence WSBA governance – in violation of the Bar Act,

Eliminate the WSBA’s role as its “Members” professional association,

Wholly and unambiguously convert the WSBA into a public entity/government agency with the singular and exclusive mission of serving the public, and

Enhance and expand the scope of the Washington State Supreme Court’s influence and control over all aspects of the WSBA (including setting Member dues), not just matters relating to licensing, regulation, attorney discipline and other such areas.

These changes are part of a longer term and little known Strategic Plan that is the product of these and other key WSBA leaders:

Executive Director Paula Littlewood,

Immediate Past President Anthony Gipe,

President William Hyslop,

WSBA General Counsel Jean McElroy

The full scope of the changes and the underlying justifications for them are detailed in:

I then identified four of the proposed Bylaw Amendments most concerning to me:

First, I strongly objected to changing the name of the WSBA after 128 years to drop the word “Association,” emphasizing that this change is explicitly intended clarifythat the WSBA is not actually a professional association of attorneys. I said I thought most WSBA Members would find this highly objectionable and would be quite surprised to learn that they weren’t really part of a professional association for lawyers.

Second, I objected to putting the Washington Supreme Court in charge of determining members’ dues and said I thought others would too.

Third, I described the creation of three more appointed Board seats as undemocratic and bad from a governance perspective because appointed seats are subject to abuse by vesting too much power in the hands of too few. [Note: these changes to the BOG composition would also directly violate RCW 2.48.030of the Bar Act regarding the “Board of Governors.” The BOG is arguably illegally constituted currently based on that RCW.]

Fourth, I objected to giving limited license practitioners a greatly out-sized percentage of the Board seats relative to their de minimis numbers – i.e., 2 Board seats from a total of fewer than 20 limited license practitioners. [In my view, these folks should have to run within their Districts just like other Bar Members. At best they should be entitled to only a single designated seat.]

A reporter who was present at the Washington State Bar’s meeting said ” I added that I had read through the Governance Task Force Report twice in recent days and that I wasn’t too enamored with it, and that I had found much of its key analysis conclusionary and unpersuasive.”

He further stated “My comments stirred up quite a few folks, including current and former BOG members, several of whom said essentially that these issues had already been debated and discussed for a long time and that it was time to move forward with all of the recommendations in the Governance Report, including the first group of Bylaw Amendments under consideration. These Governance Report recommendations have strong momentum. One gentleman even said he didn’t necessarily agree with the decisions made but that a lot of time and effort had going into them and it was time to start passing them because folks had done a lot of work and he wanted to see the results. So much for not being pushed into bad decisions by undue focus on sunk costs. ”

Mr. Gipe is currently running for King County Superior Court Position #52 – a position that could be the first step on a path to the Washington State Supreme Court, where he could ultimately exercise the control over the WSBA that he currently seeks to vest in that body. I personally feel it is very important to prevent this and thus to keep Mr. Gipe out of the judiciary. That is why I have gone to great lengths to support his opponent in the race. If you share my concerns…. Proposed Policies Eliminating or Restricting Religious (Cultural) Practices During the morning discussion of the WSBA’s proposed restrictions on religious practices, members of the Indian Law Section EC and many others from varied backgrounds advocated strongly that the Indian Law Section should be allowed to continue whatever religious and cultural practices they thought were appropriate, both for reasons of ensuring those who practice

Those of you who know me know that I value the First Amendment as the greatest gift Thomas Jefferson brought back with him from Europe – more valuable than a Bar license. Once we lose sight of the only difference between the rest of the World and America-free speech – we are no better.

From my past articles, my readers can assume that I blame the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), because instead of regulating unethical lawyers who steal money from their clients, as evidenced by convicted frauder and attorneys Geoffrey Gibbs, Lin O’Dell (who was actually caught accepting bribes from former Snohomish County political appointee John Pennington and his convicted bank frauding wife Crystal Hill Berg Pennington – convicted of bank fraud in 2005 using an alias of Berg) Linda Eide (who destroyed evidence in my case, Allan Hall and Bob Grundstein’s cases), the WSBA is nothing more than a racketeering association making criminals out of non-criminals and us reporters must do everything in our power to expose the cockroaches where they hide. Unfortunately for the taxpayers, they hid all too often inside government agencies.

About six months ago, I met a few like-minded open government supporters who have been investigating what I refer to as the “King County animal abuse scam.”

This story took me over six months of sifting through mounds of public emails before I felt comfortable enough to publish it. King County has refused comment as did Brady cop Jenee Westberg (former King County animal control officer fired for fraud).

If Washington State is ever to become a place where companies and honest people want to live, both King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe must go.

King County elected prosecutor Dan Satterberg – What IS he doing?

Why is Dan Satterberg prosecuting innocent people for animal abuse then failing to prosecute those having sex with animals?

Neither King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg nor Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe have prosecuted one single case of having sex with animals.

Marketing face of movie “ZOO WE AREN’T WHO WE APPEAR TO BE”

Marketing face of movie “ZOO – WE AREN’T WHO WE APPEAR TO BE”

Yes that question is basically shocking isn’t it? Did anyone even know Washington State has serious problem with people having sex with animals?

It is not something new in our human society. Certainly distasteful to many, enough so, that the man who died having sex with a horse at a well-known animal sex brothel in Enumclaw in July of 2005, spurned a very quick independent legislative action to further the unanimous legislation Satterberg and Susan Michaels (Pasado’s Safe Haven) worked so hard to get into law the year before. So the Satterberg and Michael 2005 animal cruelty law morphed into the 2006 anti- bestiality legislation real quick.

With the inception of his 2005 lobbying, Dan Satterberg and his animal rights extremist friends at Pasado’s Safe Haven, Susan Michaels (and company), had just spent 11 years together, as a team, getting animal cruelty into a prosecutable class C felony under a legal term called “criminal negligence.”

Satterberg did all this as Norm Maleng’s chief of staff, (a government attorney) two years before Norm Maleng died suddenly of a heart attack while in his seventh term of office in May of 2007.

Satterberg would then assume Maleng’s position of elected prosecutor through appointment by the King County Council until there could be a special election in November of 2007. He subsequently was elected to the remaining three years of Maleng’s term. He then ran for the position in 2010 and won.

Dan Satterberg now, as the elected prosecutor for King County, could easily be in one of the most powerful positions in the State of Washington if not the highest position among municipal mountains in the nation. He certainly has the power to decide the fate of virtually any warm body in King County.

With a cache of some 210 attorneys protecting the ass-ets of King County and running a $7.2 billion dollar taxpayer funded judicial system representing over 72% of the county budget; it has to be tempting to not let it all go to your head… or to your tail… depending on what one might glean from the research exposed here.

The bigger question arises then – at what point would one consider actually employing a prosecutor’s special duties to protect the public from criminals – and – when does it begin to blur when protecting the criminal? This then becomes a constitutional issue. And let’s not forget the question of who is the real criminal – the prosecutor or the defendant they accuse?

This is a troubling conundrum playing out all over our nation.

In King County it appears to play out with Mr. Satterberg making the claim that he played an active role in lobbying for stiffer laws to protect animals from abuse making animal cruelty for “any person with criminal neglect who starves and dehydrates an animal a class C felony. (He rarely mentions the “with criminal neglect” part in the same sentence though the law is written that way).

“CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. A person is criminally negligent or acts with criminal negligence when he or she fails to be aware of a substantial risk that a wrongful act may occur and his or her failure to be aware of such substantial risk constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in the same situation.”

This RCW is just legal blasphemy. It is also a 1975 constitutional violation written right into the legislation of the State of Washington.

There is a legal adage, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” No one person can know what they don’t know. It is a fact of life. Every human on the planet is plagued by this.

It is appalling it has not been corrected by now. It is further appalling that an elected official, an attorney no-less, who is tasked with protecting the public, surely knowing the standardized legal adage above, would employ it.

But then how would prosecutors have a reason for their existence if they were not able to make criminals out of ordinary honest taxpaying citizens who don’t know what they don’t know?

While Mr. Satterberg was Chief of Staff for former seven (7)-term prosecutor Norm Maleng, on March 10, 2005, Satterberg testified to the Washington State Senate Law and Justice committee to make starvation and dehydration with criminal neglect a class C felony. Now the constitutional violation is built right into another law (once removed – definition is in another law).

In 2005 Pasado’s had not yet been charged for misuse of donated monies fraud in 2010 by the Attorney General but they were certainly involved at the time in implementing the fraud they eventually got caught for.

This isn’t the first time Susan Michaels, Pasado’s and Dan Satterberg worked together. The former version of the animal cruelty law was lobbied by the two of them in 1994 making their relationship definably long-term. (Note – Pasado’s are desperately trying to re-color their tarnished history currently. But corrupt is what corrupt does – one can never overcome acts of dishonesty).

Here is the detail according to public records:

The record shows when Satterberg was some 28 years old (and a fresh deputy prosecutor) he lobbied as representative of the King County Prosecutor’s office with (the future to-be-caught fraud artist from Pasado’s) Susan Michaels at his side in 1994 on house bill 1652.

This was the bill that was labeled Pasado’s Law as a result of the donkey named Pasado who was brutally beaten to death in 1992.

This is also when the “criminal negligence” language first got traction at Satterberg’s hand. There was no outcry at the time because animal abuse cases were few under Norm Maleng (3 – 4 a year). No one noticed.

The “Satterberg” bill of 1994 was then enhanced in 2005 while Susan Michaels was misrepresenting Pasado’s money purposes that they would later be charged for by the AG in 2010.

The bill was testified to by Satterberg (he had been promoted to chief of staff by then), Susan Michaels, her husband Mark Steinway (Pasado’s) and other animal rights extremists who have succinct conflicts of interest to the bill. It was then neatly passed unanimously into RCW 16.52.205 and put into law in May of 2005.

In Satterberg’s March 10, 2005 testimony – standing with him was:

Dana Bridges a veterinarian known since to capitalize her services on animal abuse cases,

Matthew Rusnak, WA Federation of Animal Control Officers a group whose existence depends on animal prosecutions,

Satterberg had really stepped it up. The 2005, legislative reports note it was all about the “with criminal negligent starvation and dehydration” clause while also making that a class C felony.

March 10, 2005, Satterberg and his animal rights friends at Pasado’s testified in front of the Senate Law and Justice Committee that starvation and dehydration with criminal negligence should be in the legislation and therefore it should be made a class C felony so that “prosecutors and police can give it more attention.”

The legislative record states they all argued For:

“People that, with criminal negligence, starve or suffocate an animal worthy of serious attention and, in the criminal system, the way to get attention is to elevate a crime from the misdemeanor category to the felony category. By making it a felony, the prosecutors and police can give it more attention. This bill is the next step in modernizing our animal cruelty statute. It is disheartening to see starvation and dehydration cases that aren’t dealt with seriously by the authorities and these people often repeat these offenses.”

(Well so far, NONE of the 23 falsified animal cruelty cases were repeat offenders nor were they guilty of the allegations.)

And so it was, with that little legal undefined clause combined with the “criminal negligence” definition that then King County Chief of Staff Dan Satterberg (and his animal rights extremist terrorists “buddies”) enabled himself to prosecute and persecute innocent taxpaying citizens on his watch instead of going after animal sex brothels (an underground practice that has apparently gotten completely out of hand).

And Satterberg got in the saddle and whipped that horse within moments of Maleng’s death May 24, 2007 spiking the animal cruelty prosecution numbers from 3-4 a year to 12 in 2007 – a triple/quadruple jump from each year for the six (6) years prior. It would appear that Norm Maleng’s presence had kept the numbers down and Satterberg wasn’t wasting any time changing it.

Hanging out with fraud artists and domestic terrorists–Shades of Animal Rights Extremists (ARE) Terrorists as defined by Homeland security – the ends justify the means.

After a 16-month investigation by the Washington State Attorney General, Rob McKenna’s office in 2010, Pasado’s charged with a summons for misrepresentation of their use of donated funds (fraud).

The AG’s October 28, 2010 summons alleged four causes of action under numerous statutes of consumer protection.

Among them was that Pasado’s “misrepresented (fraud) specific uses or purposes for donated funds from approximately September 1, 2005 through approximately December 1, 2009.” They also misrepresented their disaster relief qualification and roles. This would have been around the time of Hurricane Katrina debacle. There were many complaints about how Pasado’s didn’t act during disasters while keeping FEMA monies. https://www.sos.wa.gov/_assets/charities/SummonsComplaintPacket20101102.pdf

The political appointee to FEMA Region X in 2005 was disgraced/terminated former director of Snohomish County, John E. Penningon. Pennington assisted Pasado’s Safe Haven with stealing taxpayer FEMA monies.

Pasado’s Safe Haven ended their attempts at defense by agreeing to a Consent Decree that ordered Pasado’s into mandatory audits and a $70,000 fine for misuse of funds (fraud).

One thing is certain; a leopard doesn’t change its spots. Susan Michaels, a former KING TV reporter, was apparently in the throes of Pasado’s misrepresentations to the public consumer while at the same time lobbying right next to Dan Satterberg to “enhance” the law she and he would directly benefit from.

It appears with Pasado’s the end justifies the means consistently even now. Laws are for everyone else not them and it appears that Satterberg is making sure his old lobbying buddies are never charged for their crimes against humanity. He is, after all, in the position to make that so.

Pasado minions continually thumb their nose at the law as if they know they will never be prosecuted for their actions. And it looks like they have good reason to be arrogant and free in their lawlessness.

Once in Pasado’s crosshairs there is little that can be done to disentangle oneself of any ARE campaign be it over-the-top misrepresentations of animal abuse on innocent people, shouting profanities at their prey, using money donated to help disaster victims diverted to build a resident mansion on their property or their self-appointed animal cruelty investigator Kim Koon openly admitting breaking and entering to videotape Chihuahuas and calling that “evidence.”

Breaking and entering is Class B felony (worse than a Class C felony). Pasado’s Kim Koon openly did this in the King County prosecution in order to stimulate a seizure of appx. 100 Chihuahuas and other breeds- $2,500/a dog – from the well-known AKC breeders and judges James and Margie Hamilton.

That’s a cash value of about a quarter million that King County doesn’t seem to have any accounting for except for an email where King County Deputy Prosecutor Gretchen Holmgren was trying to give $15,000 to another “nonprofit” for “helping” them distribute the dogs after the seizure.

Apparently the recipient failed to mention to Holmgren she wasn’t on the board anymore while two members of the board told Holmgren they would be content with $10,000. (Margie Hamilton was ordered to pay $35,000 in restitution later reduced to $22,000. King County has been unable to produce any records of this payment).

In the Hamilton case, one of the Regional Animal Services of King County Animal Control Officers, Shelby Russell took one of the poor, abused, starved, “emaciated” Hamilton Chihuahuas to a four-day dog show the day after the seizure. No one talks about that.

James Hamilton died three weeks into their arraignment but King County didn’t have anything to do with that or so the court documents claim.

Surprise! That wasn’t the end of it… oops.

But just after the end of that 2005 legislative session and Satterberg had just put the animal cruelty legislation all nicely put to bed, the Enumclaw man Kenneth Pinyan managed to get killed having sex with a horse. This exposed an animal sex brothel trade and a practice that had largely – successfully – been kept underground away from us regular folk.

Apparently it is big money business. Primarily it is mini horses. Some are just regular mini horses. Some are very high end Arabian-like mini horses bred for sale for those boutique-types in an affluent demographic. Some prefer goats, sheep and pit bulls.

The demographic is primarily the affluent who can afford it as the experience demands 5 figures; ownership and/or pimping (quite like drug use). All of which, the last time I checked, are criminal acts.

Neither Satterberg nor Michaels brought animal prostitution up during their lobbying and thus no one had considered it a problem in the earlier “Satterberg” legislation in 2005.

Pinyan’s death was certainly an event that exposed a compelling argument for animal cruelty. Gosh, not only do we have the child sex trade, we now have the animal sex trade – all are prostitution and predatory on those who have no voice.

In the next legislative session in 2006, Senator Pam Roach came in like a winter storm alert with SB 6417 and added “anti-bestiality” legislation to RCW 16.52.205 banning bestiality in Washington State. Roach’s bill was voted through unanimously then added to RCW 16.52.205 in June of 2006.

The bill passed unanimously. There does not appear to be any record of anyone testifying on this second round involving bestiality.

Satterberg didn’t show up. His buddy Susan Michaels didn’t show up. Her husband Mark Steinway did not show up but then they are divorced now. Not even the self-anointed Pasado animal cruelty “investigator” Kim Koon showed up. Aren’t they all about saving all those animals from cruelty? Not rape?

With Pam Roach’s unintentional help, the former “Satterberg” legislation then became the “anti-bestiality” law that Senator Pam Roach introduced in 2006.

One thing is certain. Satterberg couldn’t have missed the bestiality legislation.

So the bigger question is –

Why is Satterberg promoting and prosecuting innocent people with an unconstitutional law and NOT prosecuting those in the animal sex prostitution business?

Well the answer to that must be that they all draw the line when calling THAT kind of “loving” – “animal cruelty.”

Satterberg doesn’t change his spots either. What the records show –

Just as Satterberg used the Susan Michaels of Pasado’s entourage, he continues this behavior to use Pasado’s minions in his phony prosecutions for animal cruelty against innocent people.

Consistently employed by King County – without any apparent procurement required (procedures put in law to keep just this very thing from happening), are service providers without any required RFQ (requests for qualifications) calls. They are Pasado’s minions while engaged in many conflicts of interest.

At the head of list – has been veterinarian Hannah Mueller Evergreen and Jenny Edwards of Hope for Horses (HFH – now replaced by Jamie Taft/Bonnie Hammond of Save a Forgotten Equine).

Satterberg then brings up the rear (forgive the pun) with, it appears, any Brady cop he can find as witness to the fabricated crime. (Brady cops are officers who cannot be trusted to tell the truth under oath).

Satterberg’s office consistently fails to disclose to the innocent people he is prosecuting, that these witnesses have a criminal history and no credibility as required by law (and special duties of a prosecutor) to guarantee the constitutional rights of the defendant.

How the Pinyan death affected the legislators

When Kenneth Pinyan died in July of 2005 having sex with a horse at a well-known animal sex brothel in Enumclaw, it was two months after Satterberg and Pasado’s got SB 5253 neatly put in place. The shocking event served as a stark realization to legislators that animal sex abuse problems needed to be addressed more explicitly. There was no stopping this damage.

Then curiously came the movie about Pinyan. One wouldn’t really know it without watching it but it was an advocacy argument for sex with animals from the “handler’s” (the male madam) point of view. It is likened to being in the closet like homosexuality was in the 1950’s. It feels like a marketed “justification” that having sex with animals really isn’t so bad.

In fact, the film producers magically managed to have the actual – (the very same) ”handler” (pimp) who was running the Enumclaw animal sex brothel where Pinyan died – to help narrate the documentary about mid production. (I guess he couldn’t be prosecuted for animal cruelty – or so they said – or maybe the King County Prosecutor’s Office just didn’t want to prosecute him and draw anymore attention to Satterberg’s overt protection of the animal sex prostitution trade. After all Satterberg hadn’t shown any interest it).

In the movie, sex with animals was depicted as just an expression of “loving” an animal the same way as one would “love” their human lovers. AND that the animals liked it. They were born to like it.

The movie was professionally produced and went to Sundance where it won some unknown awards in the face of nearly 100% abject recoil by the press. A personal favorite was Danny Westneat’s “The spawn of horse sex” article.

Through the production of the documentary “ZOO” Pam Roach was clearly given credit for the entire legislation. Nothing was mentioned about the starvation and dehydration with criminal negligence that Dan Satterberg led the charge on over the previous 13 years.

Whether intentional or not, this film served as a passive marketing device that cloaked Satterberg’s involvement with the animal cruelty with “criminal negligence” and spotlighted Pam Roach with the animal cruelty/bestiality legislation. It appears to be an attempt to quell the public’s natural recoil. He could then control the message any way he pleased later – and he does.

And curiously, Satterberg’s favorite animal cruelty witnesses, veterinarian Hannah Mueller Evergreen and Jenny Edwards from Hope for Horses were both featured in this film. They must have thought they both would gain more business for it – except the public didn’t really see it that way.

The film also minimized the idea that the gathering of men who were involved in this were “johns” and depicted the groups as just a bunch of guys getting together like for a sports event. This is far from the case. This is a business model and a version of the prostitution trade using animals. It is that simple.

It is doubtful if Satterberg would want the world to know that his prosecutions all employ animal rights extremist terrorists (and/or other associated individuals to them) who were involved in a documentary that advocated having sex with animals. (Mainly Hannah Mueller Evergreen and Jenny Edwards of Hope for Horses – (who was later replaced by Jamie Taft/Bonnie Hammond of Save a Forgotten Equine)).

And although Satterberg mentions his involvement with lobbying for stricter animal abuse laws occasionally, he keeps his zero record on prosecuting bestiality invisible and even this message under the radar while the animal abuse talking point is the fourth prong of his campaign goals.

One has to really look for it – study the legislative notes – to find his true involvement with the animal rights extremist group, Pasado’s (who were committing fraud at the time, even then, with their claims to aid animal victims of the disasters like Hurricane Katrina).

How did the film happen?

When in 2007 Charles Mudede https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Mudede an associate editor of the weekly “The Stranger” suddenly came up with the idea to produce an animal sex advocacy film based on Pinyan’s death having sex with a horse at the animal sex brothel, the timing was surely serendipitous.

Given the messages within the film to soften the view of sex with animals to the public to “loving” the animal, the movie served to make Pam Roach the poster child of the bestiality animal cruelty legislation thus concealing Satterberg’s involvement in the base animal cruelty unconstitutional legislation he drove previously.

They called the movie “ZOO” and coined another name for bestiality – “zoophile.” Then they took the film to Sundance – which anyone can do with $150 entry fee.

Much of the abject recoil in the press reviews was suppressed. It actually won some awards though not well received by the public. Let’s just say it wasn’t a best seller except to a very specialized demographic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_(film)

The movie documented that the 2005 death and the subsequent 2006 bestiality legislation was fueled with daily commentaries by pundits Bill O’Reily and Rush Limbaugh fueling a media circus until it was passed unanimously in both the senate and the house. No one dared to vote against it and no one did. [And it would pay to remember that O’Reily and Limbaugh don’t do anything like that for free.]

Satterberg has consistently used his lobbying on animal cruelty legislation as a campaign platform but his position on bestiality message is under the radar and remains blurred.

He also consistently leaves out, or rather “distances,” his well documented long-term relationship with the defrocked Susan Michaels former director of Pasado’s Safe Haven while clearly they have been a team since at least 1994 – 22 years.

Susan Michaels was the founder and director of the “rescue” Pasado’s Safe Haven that would be charged in 2010 by the Attorney General’s office for fraud and misuse of donated funds. No amount of recapitulation of that event located on Pasado’s website is going to change the fact that as a nonprofit, they fraudulently misdirected funds for their personal use.

Our “watershed moment” came when we got phone records that showed Snohomish County Emergency Director John Pennington (now terminated) pedophile who is responsible for 43 people dying in the Oso mudslide due to his spectacular incompetence – that moment exposed that Pennington, Jenny Edwards (Hope for Horses) and Charles Mudede (Editor for the Stranger) had each other on speed dial. At least in August of 2015 they did and THAT is an interesting connection to Snohomish County and their band of unlawful prosecutions and illegal horse rustling following in Satterberg’s footsteps.

This all suggests that the film about Pinyan’s demise (as being an accidental unplanned event) was to serve as damage control for so as to not get people in the public too upset that there is a thriving market of animal sex brothels going on right under their noses – some within a 1,000 feet of some of their children’s schools.

“I took a leadership role in successfully lobbying the State Legislature to pass laws making animal cruelty a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. In 2005 I also support legislation that made it a crime to dehydrate or starve an animal to death.”

That is only part of what he did. He fails to mention the part about “with criminal negligence,” (nor his lack of prosecuting animal sex prostitution).

“(2) A person is guilty of animal cruelty in the first degree when, except as authorized by law, he or she, with criminal negligence, starves, dehydrates, or suffocates an animal and as a result causes: (a) Substantial and unjustifiable physical pain that extends for a period sufficient to cause considerable suffering; or (b) death.”

“(d) CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. A person is criminally negligent or acts with criminal negligence when he or she fails to be aware of a substantial risk that a wrongful act may occur and his or her failure to be aware of such substantial risk constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in the same situation.”

Apparently Satterberg should have added to that claim, “I intend to persecute innocent good honest taxpaying citizens with no criminal record INSTEAD of pursuing the prosecutions of the people running the prostitutions involving animal sex brothels in the area.”

The numbers tell the tale, there is only one prosecution for animal sex in the entire state (that we could find) and it failed. And it wasn’t Satterberg’s case. He has zero.

What is that saying? It would certainly appear he is protecting the animal sex trade.

“Satterberg said King County prosecutors try about 10 animal-cruelty cases a year.”

[Court records reveal that at that time, the King County Prosecutor’s office was consistently trying 3 – 4 cases a year.]

Satterberg also states that “Neglect cases are not expected to add an unmanageable burden.”

In hindsight, since Satterberg took the reins to replace Norm Maleng after Maleng’s untimely and sudden death May 4, 2007, the King County Prosecutor’s Office has accumulated well over 130 cases between 2007 and 2013.

That is triple/quadruple what Maleng prosecuted and an astronomical spike in prosecutions for animal cruelty.

Of those cases reviewed, it appears at least 23 cases were fraudulently prosecuted against completely innocent people with no criminal history using fabricated evidence. [They were all, property owners.]

In addition, those cases were rife (nearly exclusively) with corrupted State experts from Satterberg’s lobbying efforts, and the law enforcement who testify are undisclosed criminals themselves. (Brady officers, someone who can’t be trusted to tell the truth under oath).

Hannah Mueller and Jenny Edwards led that charge.

Satterberg has one of his chiefs, Dan Clark in charge of the “Brady Committee” where – apparently – Mr. Clark suppresses criminal employees from getting on the Brady list along with the assistance of his former personal assistant Ann Westberg, mother to the infamous Brady Officer, RASKC Animal Control Officer Jenee Westberg the career criminal herself.

Westberg photo from public records passed out in the back of a police car during her 19-count drug arrest.

What is Satterberg’s motivation here? Empire building? Having an excuse to employ more people? Justify his existence? Cover up incompetence of what it would take to go after the epidemic of real criminals who are sexually abusing animals? Drugs? Money? Protecting the practice of bestiality in WA State? More money?

One thing it isn’t – is advocacy for animal well-being.

We may never know the whole answer to that question but facts are facts. The numbers don’t lie. Just these 23 cases alone have cost King County many millions of tax dollars, it has cost those wrongly accused their reputations, their livelihoods, in some cases, their lives. And these cases only serve as a diversionary cloak from the real thriving criminal money-making problem – having sex with animals instead of people.

In contrast to those non-criminals Satterberg has chosen to prosecute, State witnesses employed in these cases are individuals with criminal backgrounds, corrupted veterinarians and “rescues” who are gouging, embezzling and committing perjuries en masse and undisclosed “Brady Officers (those who cannot be trusted to tell the truth under oath).” They are providing falsified evidence and perjury for the appearance of an easy win through cheating. The “fix is in” or so they say.

Only those vulnerable with NO criminal record who own property are chosen for prosecution.

Egregiously altered transcripts appear when a defendant has the audacity to seek justice in a higher court. A leopard doesn’t change his spots… er… rather a snake doesn’t stop slithering.

This campaign is an animal rights extremist’s dream and keeps all the animal sex violations out of view through obfuscation.

There are definitively 23 innocent people in King County that Satterberg has wrongfully made criminals of who were law abiding, taxpaying citizens before him with no criminal history. These are people who believed in the justice of the judicial system who do no longer.

Many people have reached out to Satterberg begging him to correct and vacate these cases. This would include the wrongfully accused, their lawyers and other elected officials. He is certainly aware of it yet he has refused to do anything. It would appear he has painted himself into the proverbial corner when he could have done the right thing years ago.

But if he is protecting a massive deviate sex prostitution organization with lots of revenue, why would he care? He has the power to prosecute whoever he wants.

This is what Dan Satterberg is REALLY doing besides:

funding his friends at Pasados,

protecting Hannah Mueller Evergreen (whose credentials at the Dept. of Health Licensing leaves me to believe she should be investigated for fraud),

protecting Jenny Edwards (whose self-dealing with King County Animal Control leaves me to believe she’s running quite the little racket getting people charged with animal abuse and them collecting taxpayers money from government agencies to care for the animal bilking for hundreds of thousands),

protecting Ms. Michaels at Pasado’s using taxpayer’s monies through the animal abuse scam to grab headlines news a hell of a lot of public and private donations between her and Save a Forgotten Equine’s Jamie Taft and Bonnie Hammond.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe is playing the same animal abuse scam. More on those two cockroaches soon.

Snohomish County’s terminated political appointee, John E. Pennington, claims to have a log book of high ranking political officials, including judges, lawyers, and politicians writing down their “feelings” inside a log book after having sex with animals at Echo Lake. For now, I’m going to hold off publishing their names but Pennington’s little extortion scheme is coming to end. And if anyone is wondering, there are copies.

This past week, I’ve been covering a Snohomish County prosecution for arson in the 1st decree against Lori Shavlik. But this wasn’t the first prosecution of Ms. Shavlik, it’s Snohomish County Prosecutor’s second run. The first trial resulted in hung jury, with jurors stating “ the State failed to prove its case.”

While pedophiles are walking free, and baby killers are released because Mark Roe failed to file simple papers ( http://snocoreporter.com/3-month-old-babys-killers-walk-free-for-now/,) Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe and his political racketeering gangsters from the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office are maliciously prosecuting – for the second time- a forty-five year old mother of five for Arson I.

Statistically, women do not commit crimes of arson; women represent less than 4 % of all arsonists by most social scientists findings.

As of today, millions of taxpayer dollars have been misspent over a fire that started behind a dryer unit at Ms. Shavlik’s place of business – a tanning salon- and while she’s embattled in a contract /lease dispute with the building’s owner who just happens to be a personal and dear friend to the lead investigator who is also the Fire Chief, and a former City of Snohomish Brady Cop David Fontenot ( exposed and terminated from another county for stealing, harassing women in the workplace, and lying on search warrants, etc).

And by the way, the Fire Chief has no official fire investigation training, he is simply a political official, elected by the public; and a dirty cop David Fontenot is now a Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer. Sounds like people are being rewarded here.

After reviewing the pictures from the County’s so called crime scene, it’s clear to me that the so called crime scene has been tampered with, but I’ll wait to post how we know until after the State closes its case.

Interesting to read the last line above whereas Mark Roe writes “This memorandum has been generated to provide the defense notice of this potential impeachment issue.”

Note that Mark Roe cares not for wrongfully charging and convicting citizens, but only for how this might affect his office.

Commentary from the Gold Bar Reporter

At the time this post was made, this entry represents day four of State v. Lori Shavlik.

I’d like my readers to know that the only reason the Gold Bar Reporter decided to cover the case is because I have ample reason to believe that Snohomish County Detective David Fontenot and Snohomish County Prosecutor Fransesca Yahyavi should in prison for the malicious prosecution of Lori Shavlik; and for what these criminals did to her children, I hope they sue Snohomish County for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

As an award winning journalist, with criminal defense knowledge, I intend to do everything possible to expose the cockroaches who retaliated against Ms. Shavlik, causing grave emotional distress to her family, as a favor to the building owner and the head of the Monroe School District, who with no surprise, Ms. Shavlik sued for harassing her daughter just a year prior to his good friends inside the City of Snohomish trumping up criminal charges on her.

In Washington State Bar Association lead counsel

Linda Eide’s own words, Re: Block, “Scene One“

Snohomish County has at the helm of this malicious prosecution, prosecutor Fransesca Yahyavi, who is being assisted by Snohomish County Detective who just happens to be a Brady Cop/Detective David Fontenot.

The first issue several observers noticed is Fransesca Yahyavi and Brady Cop David Fontenot seem to have very very very personal (possibly sexual) relationship.

How we know is simple: Fontenot was caught massaging Fransesca Yahyavi’s buttocks with his finger tips.

Either this is a new type of legal guidance not yet listed in Westlaw ( although admiittingly we did not search Lexis Nexis) or there exists a personal relationship.

Since this is day four of the trial, I feel comfortable stating that anyone who uses their fingers to massage my buttocks is someone very very close to me, like my partner or my message therapist.

Now, I’m not sure about my readers but I’d say “a lawyer who is engaged in a personal relationship with their client/s is guilty of gross violations of their ethical duties as a lawyer under Washington State’s Rules of Professional Conduct.”

Now, just to make sure Fransesca Yahyavi’s is claiming some type of attorney-client relationship exist, while at the same allowing a dirty Brady Cop to massage her buttocks in a public courtroom, I wanted to make sure Fransesca Yahyavi is trying to claim attorney-client relationship exists, so I requested her emails pursuant to RCW 42.56.

But from what several onlookers saw, Ms. Yahyavi and David Fontenot’s emails should be pretty juicy. Greatest show on Earth!

Valentine’s Day is certainly not over in Judge Millie Judge’s courtroom this week.

When’s a Dirty Copy, always a Dirty Cop

As I stated above, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer David Fontnote is a “Brady Cop.” That is, he is listed on the Snohomish County Brady List …er uh…Lust. “Brady” is in reference to a famous case known as Brady v. Maryland.

For those of our readers who are not legal beagles, police officers who landed on the Brady List are known to be dishonest, as in this case, David Fontenot has not only been caught lying on search warrants, but he was also fired from employment for sexually harassing women at the Sheriff’s Office in another county, caught falsifying search warrants and stealing from crimes scenes.

Boy do I love Snohomish County Washington, it’s quite the place to raise children. Dave Somers where the hell are you?

Because of U.S. Supreme Court’s Brady ruling, prosecutors are required to notify defendants and their attorneys anytime a law enforcement official involved in their case has a know history of knowingly lying in an official capacity. However, Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, at least in this case, feel that they didnt have to disclose that information to Lori Shavlik’s lawyer. But they need not worry, because another reporter did, and she did a wonderful job at exposing the cockroaches, a.k.a David Fontenot and Ms. Yahyavi. search www.snocoreporter.com

This prompted Ms. Shavlik to demand that her lawyer, John Crowley, notify the court, specifically Judge Millie Judge ( who at least appears to be trying to conduct a fair trial, at least at day four, stage one), to file a last minute motion to allow the defendant to enter information about Brady Copy David Fontenot into her trial.

Despite this well-known case law, case law that is incorporated into Official court rules, Ms. Yahyavi moved in pretrial that Mr. Fontnote’s Brady cop history be excluded from this trial. This is an attorney asking the court, the Honorable Millie Judge, to break the law.

It appears, Ms. Yahyavi missed or failed constitutional law or simply believes her actions to be above the law. Opps, there is that Kalina holding from Our Supreme Court that she should be very worried about. . . but she may ask Tim Ford for advice on that one.

The court’s response was that she needed to think about it. On Tuesday, Judge Millie Judge, with the camera rolling, ruled against Ms. Yahyavi’s warped and facially unconstitutional motion and will allow Detective Footnote’s Brady history to be disclosed to the jury…although it hasn’t been disclosed as yet while Det. Fontnote “assists” Ms. Yahyavi with parading her 26 “witnesses” to the stand.

On day four, not one single witness is yet to introduce any connection to the fabricated arson scene. This after launching a massive investigation of epic proportions deserving of a serial murderer, including three search warrants, one of each of Ms. Shavlik’s two businesses ( tanning salons) , and one of her family home where her young children were lined up in the entry hall like felons while the home was completely torn apart.

With no surprise, Our good friends from Snohomish County Prosecutor and our expert Sheriff’s Officers found no evidence supporting the state’s case for Arson I.

Wasting taxpayer monies to racket up criminal

charges as political favors

When I think of Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, I think of cockroaches scattering every time their public records are requested. Cockroaches hate sunlight, so those of you readers interested shining much needed light on corrupt government officials ask for their emails and telephone records pursuant to RCW 42.56. Pretty juicy stuff, possibly National Enquirer worthy.

The Prosecution spent at least 3 million dollars arraigning a tsunami of “exhibits” (that seem to be inconsistent shots of the same dryer vent) and last but not least, Brady Cop , and a fine member documenting what’s wrong with Snohomish County Sherriff’s Officer, David Fontnote’s “special” legal guidance that has juicy lust filled moments closely associated with the first X rated movie I saw as a child “Deep Throat” …moments not defined by law and not listed in Westlaw, but certainly prohibited by Washington State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct ( Lawyers). Worry not,

Ms. Yahyavi she will never be prosecuted under because our good friends at the bar have never disbarred a prosecutor.

RCW 42.56 is the public’s greatest tool in exposing the cockroaches

where they roam, inside government agencies

Snohomish County’s former Deputy Director of Emergency Management told political appointee John E. Pennington ” stop bothering Anne Block… you’re going over the radar and it will be the end of your career.”

But sociopaths never listen . . . hence is the case here.

Detective Fontenot is also a witness in this prosecution, and thanks to Judge Millie Judge, David Fontenot will get his videotaped 2 hours of fame when being impeached by the defense counsel about his stealing, lying on declarations, harassing women, and tampering with evidence in this case.

While sitting in on day one of this trial, I had a Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer violate my civil rights by illegally seizing me – in violation of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Const. Because I, as a severally hearing impaired disabled American, sat in the front pew of Judge Millie Judge’s courtroom. The Sheriff lied claiming that only witnesses can sit in the front row of the courtroom. Trained in criminal defense, I said ” oh really, while there’s trial , your telling me that witnesses are allowed to sit in the courtroom? Bull shit!”

Thankfully another open government supporter is in the courtroom video taping this violation, and a tort claim has been filed against Snohomish County and the Sheriff’s Officer specifically. Now, the only the reason I mentioned this fact that may seem a little outside the scope of this article is because witnesses are never allowed to sit inside the courtroom while there’s an ongoing jury trial.

Why is simple: witnesses should never know what other witnesses are going to testify to before they testify. Unless of course you live in Snohomish County, Washington.

While all of the State’s witnesses have been painstakingly sequestered in the hallway in order to keep them from being influenced by other testimony in the trial, Brady Cop Detective . Fontnote is allowed to be present through the entire trial as Ms. Yahyavi’s “assistant” while Ms. Yahyavi reminds the court that the news camera videographer and journalists present are absolutely not to talk to the witnesses in the hall lest they create a mistrial.

This results in a court verbal order that the video footage is not to be publicly posted until the trial is complete. Meanwhile, Ms. Yahyavi launches a secondary attack on one of the investigative journalist present by scurrying out into the hallway to alert security that they need to remove this person from the courtroom because she had the audacity to sit behind the prosecution’s desk.

The smile on Ms. Yahyavi’s face as she returned from this task could only be described as that of a Cheshire cat and captured nicely on camera. This occurred right after Ms. Yahyavi placed a 2′ X 3′ display easel between her and the journalist completely obscuring the view from that gallery view.

Sleepy, yawning, and

“Judge I need to use the restroom”

During the trial it appears 70% of Ms. Yahyavi’s witnesses have been on the stand. It had become a blur of minutia. None have testified yet to ANY evidence that ties Ms Shavlik to the alleged crime of arson. Absolutely zero.

Jurors’ spent the majority of the week yawning, eyes floating up and down struggling to stay awake, and ending with one juror asking the Judge to use the restroom. I began thinking ” Did this lawyer really manage to get through undergraduate studies?” Anyone who can read or pay off a member of the WSBA Disciplinary Office can get a passing grade on the Bar exam, but undergraduate studies is where one learns to communicate with others. This prosecutor missed a few classes.”

I must admit the State has proven that Ms. Shavlik took money from the cash register drawer of her own business to go shopping with her daughter and buy lunch. Under these standards for proving that someone is guilty of the crime of arson, almost all small business owners would be convicted of crimes, if not all.

Several witnesses also testified that Ms. Shavlik may not be a skilled manager of the business.

One witness, Rebecca, who was also a teenage single mother who Ms. Shavlik allowed her to bring her infant child to work, testified that Ms. Shavlik was at times a terrible boss.

As a single mother myself, I could have only dreamed of having a boss that allowed me a little extra time with my one and only baby girl. Rebecca hardly demonstrated that Ms. Slavlik is guilty of arson, but this witnesses testimony left me believing that this witness may have played a part in framing Ms. Slavlik to save her heroin addicted brother. But I’ll need to send my investigators out to explore that issue before writing a “tit for tat story” on this witness.

Overall most of the witnesses seem to like Ms Slavlik.

Major crimes detective Kendra Conley is still testifying. She did testify that she investigated thousands of cases, but we hear her emails may be pretty damn juicy, as juicy as her attire in court on Thursday, which we likened to a street walker ( perhaps she was assigned to Snohomish County’s Prostitution sting ring earlier in the day ?).

Detective Conley also with no surprise admitted that she too was rewarded with a job from the City of Snohomish to Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. But what sticks with me is that She also lied to the jury that she participated in thousands of cases. A search of current case files documents that Ms. Conley is a liar.

Snohomish County has yet to introduce any evidence that meets the bar of RCW 9A.48.020 Arson in the first degree and our country’s burden of proof requirement “ beyond a reasonable doubt. ”

The jurors are falling asleep, rolling their eyes, bored, and one juror had to use the restroom so badly that he interpreted the judge saying I need to use the restroom. I presume to throw up over the stench coming from the Prosecutor’s desk.

A videographer is present, so our story is captured on camera. It certainly shines much needed sunlight on the criminals ruining our democracy.

If you look at great human civilizations, from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union, you will see that most do not fail simply due to external threats but because of internal weakness, corruption, or a failure to manifest the values and ideals they espouse.

You may be interested in following and possibly contributing with friend of the court briefs, the following cases currently pending before the ninth circuit court of appeals.

Scannell v. WSBA case #14-35582

Scheidler v. Avery et al case # 15-35945

Block v. Snohomish county case #15-35569

In all three cases, the plaintiffs have raised Sherman anti-trust and RICO charges against the Washington State Bar Association and the issue of immunity plays a crucial role.

Scannell was disbarred for obstruction because he refused to turn over attorney client privileged information to a disciplinary counsel who was attempting to prosecute his client for the unauthorized practice of law in Virginia. Although a federal judge ruled that the bar’s action of recommending disbarment violated the 6th amendment right to counsel, the disbarment could not be undone, and the bar could not be sued because of quasijudicial immunity. While the ninth circuit has not recognized the discipline with a reciprocal disbarment (believed to be only the only attorney who was able to keep his 9th Circuit attorney license).

In Scheidler, the plaintiff was prevented from obtaining counsel for his suit because the prosecutor has used his influence with the WSBA to threaten disciplinary action against any attorney who represents Scheidler. In one case, he lost a case because he counsel was threatened on the eve of trial.

In Block, the plaintiff was an award winning journalist who exposed corruption in Snohomish county when she printed a story about the Chief executive using county funds to conduct a sexual affair with two employees in Europe. The county executive was forced to resign over the revelations, but used county resources and employees to retaliate against Block by soliciting bar complaints over the internet. Block was recommended for disbarment for writing a series of exposes about the director of the Department of Emergency Services. That director, recommended approval of the building of homes on the Oso mudslide site, which later resulted in the deaths of 43 residents. The Seattle Times later won the Pulitzer prize for exposing how the director and others knew in advance that the site was dangerous.

In all three cases, the plaintiffs have alleged that the bar has steered the market away from sole practitioners, minorities, and political enemies of the leadership. They allege that over 40% of all discipline occurs in Snohomish county, which is where influential members of the Board of Governors and Disciplinary board reside and use the bar process to target their opponents.

They allege that the board targets minority attorneys for discipline in numbers far exceeding their proportions of the membership in the bar.

They also alleged that virtually all discipline is directed at sole practitioners, even though sole practitioners are only 30% of attorneys.

Their complaints also allege that defense attorneys are not investigated under policies that are not approved reviewed or approved by Washington State Supreme Court.

Finally, their complaints allege that this steering of the market toward favored attorneys is done during the investigative stage, which is never reviewed by the Washington State Supreme Court in the 96% of the cases that are never charged. Their complaints allege that the low number of attorneys charged is reflective of the fact that the bar is the proverbial fox in charge of the henhouse.

In spite of these serious allegations, all which are presumed to be true under an FRCP 12 motion, their cases have been dismissed. In Scannell’s case, although a California judge ruled that Washington court rules violated the sixth amendment right to counsel, and Scannell’s RICO, Sherman Antitrust allegations, and Civil Rights charges were not covered under the Rooker Feldman doctrine, (the usual defense for cases like this), he ruled that quasi-judicial immunity prevented prosecution for damages under all three causes of action, while ruling that injunctive relief was available for civil rights causes of action. The North Carolina Dental Examiners case had not yet been decided at the time the final orders were issues, but had been issued before briefing in the ninth circuit.

In Block and Scheidler, their cases were dismissed by federal judges who Block and Scheidler contend violated the code of judicial conduct when they refused to recuse themselves when they were members of the Washington State Bar Association. The ninth circuit had earlier ruled in Scannell case and two others, that the membership required disqualification of Washington judges. Under common law, individual members of an association are liable for the debts of the association.

In the Block case, the judge refused to allow Block to amend her complaint to include the bar, even though such amendments are freely granted. In Scheidler, the judge granted quasijudicial immunity, without offering any reasoning as to why the North Carolina case did not apply.

Just as freedom fighter and Washington State attorney Steve Eugster did, Gold Bar Reporter will seek a U. S. Federal Court injunction against the Washington State Bar citing a nonnegotiable constitutional right to disassociate pursuant to the First Amendment.

Constitutuonal rights cannot be trumped by any organization.

“I value the First Amendment more than any other historical document on this planet, and I took a pledge to uphold the laws against all invaders foreign and domestic. Once I became aware the Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinry Counsel was guilty of RICO offenses against several of its members, I disassociated from the Washington State Bar, a First Amendment right in the U.S. ” Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block.

The Washington State Bar will be reformed and we have a hell of a lot of pissed off attorneys helping make that happen.

Www.reformedWSBA.org will be up and running by June 1, 2015, while at the same time I will be filing suit against the Washington State Bar seeking damages for their blatant disrespect for Our laws.

UPDATE: The WASHINGTON STATE BAR HAS REFUSED COMMENT AS OF TODAY, APRIL 9, 2015; ONCE THEY DO WE WILL POST THEIR COMMENTS WITHOUT CENSORSHIP

To the Editor of the Skagit Valley Herald and to the good people of Skagit County:

This is the letter that will never be printed in the Skagit Valley Herald. The Herald has written its story. It was not the story that I would have written of course. It is not even close to the story I would have written, but it is the story you, the citizens of Skagit County read on its pages.

Here is my letter to the Editor of the Skagit Valley Herald:

Not at any time have I been personally contacted before you published any of your stories regarding me and no one from your paper was in the courtroom the only time I have spoken. I gave my story in an allocution statement. It is on the record. Reporting partial accounts or only what is handed to you as the full story gives the public a false impression. Investigating matters appears to be no one’s strong suit. Not the Skagit Valley Herald, not the Mount Vernon Police and not the WSBA. All of which have a duty to investigate before acting. By far a more compelling story would be why your newspaper was given this particular story and why you & I were given no exculpatory information that was clearly available to all of the investigating parties yet went unreported.

I KNOW that I may hold my head high because I know that unlike some I have always dealt squarely and forthrightly in my dealings with other lawyers as well as members of the bench and of the public. In doing so I stepped on toes. I called it like I saw it and when I heard untruths I called a few liars, the was especially prevalent in Skagit County’s Ex-Parte Court. When I saw repeatedly, guardianships being filed by the same people, lawyers who are & were tenant’s of the hospital lawyer, and as a creditor the hospital filing guardianships that gave preferential treatment to the hospital lawyer’s tenants and specifically requesting that his wife be appointed by the Court as the Guardian ad Litem, I spoke out.

When that same Court appointed GAL did an extremely poor job, I spoke to her privately requesting that she specifically contact a health provider about the cancellation of a much needed wheelchair for the alleged incapacitated person. This GAL very flippantly told me not to tell her how to do her job and that her investigation was complete. Even though I had just informed her that the woman’s care center had contacted me and needed this device to care for her properly. At the time the only oversight was the Court. Because of the GAL’s refusal to make this single telephone call a woman was left without support of a much needed medical device until her death.

The GAL’s job is to investigate and make recommendations to the Court. In refusing to investigate this necessary medical device’s cancellation she failed in her duty.

In zealously representing my client as well as being a mandatory reporter, I was required by law to point out this GAL’s errors and the only place to report it to was the Skagit Valley Probate Court. After which I was threatened by the GAL’s husband, the hospital lawyer, a now sitting member of the WSBA Board of Governors, who between clenched teeth told me “You’ll be sorry for this Rosemary” after I did what was required of me by law to do. Report the abuse of an elder in jeopardy. By pointing out the gross failure of duty by the Court appointed GAL in her inept investigation the full abuse of the power and authority of the Washington State Bar Association disciplinary system was focused upon me for nearly ten years.

To this day I stand by my assessment. Now that very same GAL/wife, who did the worse report I read in over twenty years of practice, is in charge of overseeing complaints against GAL’s in three counties. THREE COUNTIES! Her own reports were questionable, yet now she is in charge of overseeing all GALs. How does that happen? Connections? They know who they are. They know what they have done.

I’ve never filed a phony bar complaint.

I’ve never gone behind anyone’s back by claiming to give NOTICE when I hadn’t. I’ve never began a lawsuit against someone and failed to serve them to get a default judgment against them. I’ve never had a default judgment entered when I knew the person was nearby and obviously could be served easily if service was attempted. I’ve always gone straight to the person and I’ve always given others the opportunity to be heard.

I’ve never given false testimony or had illegal Ex-Parte Orders entered.

Twice I’ve had issues with an order. The first time I had a problem with an order it came concurrent with a racially inspired conflict over an incident involving one of the co-director’s pushing and slapping my then ten year old son at play practice. My son was acting in a local theatre company’s version of Peter Pan. When my son who very much enjoyed acting and being chosen for a part told me he did not want to return to practice I discovered what had happened and personally went to the Director to specifically find out what led to the incident witnessed by a number of actors. At the time this person apologized profusely and responded with all the politically correct sentiments but my son and I never felt welcomed again by that particular theatre group and for good reason, from then on we were hazed repeatedly by members of the cast and crew, invited and uninvited to cast parties, and I was 86’ed from backstage even though the job I had signed up to do from the beginning was to be the back stage gofer. Not all of the cast but a good deal of you jumped on that band wagon. You know who you are and you know what you did, and we know it too.

This Director and been appointed fairly recently as a Court Commission and it was his clerk who caused the problem with the order. I clearly heard this man’s clerk tell me he had signed the order I had left earlier when ex-parte was overflowing. I came back in the early afternoon, at which time I was told that the Commissioner had signed the oder . When I asked for the original the clerk told me she had filed it in the Probate box at the Court Clerk’s office. I conformed my copies and sent out the order to a local bank for action to be taken. Late afternoon my office received a call from the Court Clerk indicating we had an order to be picked up. This is when I discovered the order had not been signed and I immediately called and notified all parties. At the time I was told it was an honest mistake. Instead it became courthouse gossip. Gossip over whether I had properly apologized to this Commissioner’s Clerk (who had told me that he had signed an order that had not in fact been signed.) It amazed me because of the obvious distortions of the story to cover the backside of the person at the court. They didn’t think I’d hear what was being said, and what was being said was far from the truth. Instead she chose to lie and repeat that lie to anyone who would listen to her tale. A lie that placed my reputation for honesty in question.

The second incident came when this same Commissioner who had abused my son, and who had either instructed his clerk to say he had signed an order or whose clerk didn’t bother to ask him and then assumed he would sign it and told me he did so she did not have to say she hadn’t presented it to him, who knows; but this same Commissioner in another guardianship matter failed to ask what a “qualified plan” was when I presented to him that this guardianship was only necessary to distribute a single qualified plan. Instead this decision maker pretended to know what one was when I specifically asked if he understood the taxing consequences of withdrawing funds from a qualified planned. Had he simply admitted to not knowing the consequences of taxing qualified plans much of my later ordeal would have been avoided, but if there is one thing that most lawyers will never do – is admit that they are ignorant.

Courthouse gossip, like any untrue statements spread distrust of people and situations.

We all are human so we all make mistakes. Lawyers don’t like to be wrong. Neither do Judges or those with the authority of Judges, like Commissioners.

I have found that honestly pointing out these things to some in authority causes you great harm. This I do not believe should be happening in our courts. Honest, hardworking people should be able to get to the truth without our elected officials egos getting involved. Without their perceptions, rather than the facts, being the reason for their actions or inaction. As officers of the Court we are to rise above the pettiness, but when big egos get bruised they tend to retaliate in ways that they find available. Often that is at another’s expense. Retaliation at my expense has been very far reaching. Thinking that by bringing someone else down they will regain what they perceive they have lost, or at least puff them up again has no place in our Courts and needs to be rooted out by voters. It is my hope that the voters of Skagit County heed the call.

Gossip is one of the tools bruised egos use to get their revenge and gossip is rampant in the Skagit County Court, and likely with many other courts as well. However, when the powers that be allow courthouse gossip to flourish then everyone should be very aware that what they are doing can harm good honest hard working people. Lying to cover up your own mistakes is just wrong, but doing it and then talking about people knowingly to put them in their place is maliciously passive aggressive, to knowingly harm another just isn’t decent. You know who you are. You know what you have said and done.

Notice is a necessity under the law. It is not at anyone’s discretion. Entering default orders to force criminal proceedings where you know there was no criminal act is not only disgraceful but unconscionable by the bench. Giving Notice to the Pioneer Board but not to me was an abuse of the power of your position and it is morally reprehensible that you would use your position to harm me because your ego got bruised when you butted into a guardianship matter that had never come before you. Together you and the Commissioner conspired, assuming wrongdoing. You were proven wrong in your perception. You were given an opportunity to be heard and instead you conspired together to get me and you did. It wasn’t enough to ruin my reputation, no that wasn’t enough for some of you. So I’m gone. I’m in jail. You’ve made me appear to be what you are protecting. There will be others to come after me who will not break under your bullying. Others who are stronger than I am but like me will not compromise their principles or integrity just to avoid the wrath of a two-faced back stabbing witch. There are other’s who won’t play the status quo ball either. They are coming. The good people of Skagit County need to know that there are honest, hardworking lawyers zealously representing them and making decisions, but that there are unconscionable, cold hearted, public employee parasites like you who should not be re-elected ever again due to your unethical use of the law and your blatant disregard for notice before you strike. You cannot pretend to uphold the integrity of the legal system if you are one of the main problems. You know who you are and you know what you have done. Where is that story?

Signing arrest warrants without probable cause after being asked for nearly twenty years to recuse yourself from all matters regarding me is obviously bias. Then ordering search warrants after the plea just proves the police had nothing, there was no probable cause for any criminal complaint, just a regurgitation of WSBA’s partial investigation, (because all exculpatory information was withheld by the very same WSBA that refuses subpoenas while asking for me to waive my confidentiality instead; then when I do so they claim their own confidentiality in my file. Tell me, does the WSBA have confidentiality when it is a self governing body? I know that the bar’s Executive Director Paula Littlewood never once used the word “transparency” when answering one of UW’s first year law student’s question as to what exactly does self governing mean.

Obviously, self governing means never having to be accountable for the WSBA’s own errors, investigations, misrepresentations and Statements of Concern.)

But, getting back to the point raised above, You sir, the Judge who signed my arrest warrant, you are a liar and always have been since I first dealt with you on a 1994 Estate. You know who you are and it does not surprise me that while sitting on the bench you think everyone before you is a liar, because you were a liar before the bench. It is unfortunate that the people of Skagit County who vote have not seen your real side as I have. Let’s hope you never run unopposed again for re-election.

But then, you lied about my brother too, didn’t you. You recanted your statement but only after he had been disbarred.

Then there is another ex-parte liar who used your same allocations against my brother almost word for word against me in that previously mentioned matter where the Commissioner’s clerk told me an order had been signed. First this Sheriff’s daughter admitted that it was an honest mistake, in writing. Yet then she takes my brother’s complaint almost word for word and has her client file a phony bar complaint against me believing no doubt that I would be disbarred too. Did your client tell you that he was investigated by APS, I wonder? You think that because I called you out in ex-parte for lying to the Court that you should harm me? You were the liar. Not me. You and your client who I reported because I am a mandatory reporter of abuse to elders in jeopardy. You who the court appoints as guardian yet you barely do your job, but always proactively collect your fee. You aren’t fooling me. There’s no doubt you can fool the WSBA , you have friends in high places.

I complained because a GAL wasn’t doing her job, but she was never investigated by the WSBA, I was. Why, because she encouraged the complaint and I relied upon the WSBA to do their job investigating the matter. Often I was told by the bar investigator that if anything, ANYTHING BY ANYONE, was found to be an action for disciplinary proceedings it would be thoroughly investigated and the party would be disciplined, yet this derelict wife of a WSBA crony was never investigated. So how is the bar protecting the integrity of the judicial system? I informed them and gave them the information which is in the Skagit Court files, but the WSBA never got the files. Instead, the WSBA let one of the people I specifically told my investigator about be a bar custodian of papers and complaints. Yes, someone specifically pointed out as conspiring to harm another lawyer by making false statements and by withholding information was put in charge of disciplinary files as custodian in the years my case was being heard. Was that because the WSBA ignores some complaints that should be investigated while dismissing others who provide favors or is it because the WSBA also fails to adequately investigate and is therefore derelict in its duty to us all? It certainly isn’t protecting the integrity of the system as it’s mission statement implies.

On another note, the attorney witness for the prosecution testifying to excessive fees certainly is the pot calling the kettle black when one of you knowingly testified my fees were excessive after you charged over sixty thousand dollars in less than six months on a referral I gave to your old firm. When I called to discuss it with you I was told you were no longer with the firm but had opened your own firm which I called and was told you were on vacation in Italy. Bearing false witness is a sin. Being a graduate of a number of Catholic Schools* you know that too. You know you are the true crook and you testified against me out of spite. Shame, shame on you, here’s to Dante’s Inferno not being fiction.

Just because lengthy probates with exorbitant fees is the way Skagit County has always done it doesn’t mean it is the way it should be done. I taught people they could do living trusts and avoid probate. This empowered the people and took their private family matters out of a mandatory court setting. That is what the Trust, once executed, says to do and is the law everywhere but apparently Skagit County.

Here instead of following what is written in the four corners of the trust document being the law, we have one ridiculous Judge who instead of using mediation as it is intended, goes around the trust to hire every beneficiary a mediator who is also a lawyer which defeats the purpose of the trust, stole from multiple charitable beneficiaries and is a violation and an abuse of the system.

Judges who make these type of decisions instead of honoring the four corners of the document are taking away the avoidance of probate designed in the revocable living trust and leaving the parties in the probate court where they never intended to be. People beware. This is happening here in Skagit County and it is only making some lawyers more wealthy and stealing from your estates.

I was the messenger, I tried to warn the powers that be and discovered that some of the powers that be like the way things have always been done. The people they socialize with reap the benefits. Under TEDRA this Judge appoints a mediator to replace every lawyer and takes these trusts through probate. That is wrong. They know it is wrong and they are doing it anyway.

Know that if you have a revocable living trust that upon your death it becomes irrevocable and anyone who wants to go to court IS CONTESTING the basic nature and autonomy of that trust. Don’t fall for anyone telling you that they are just clarifying the document or language and talk you into taking your trust to Court under TEDRA; you are being deceived by your lawyer and by anyone sitting on the bench who signs such an order.

You know who you are. I named you in my allocution. Its only time before you will be seen for what you are and people will see what you have done. You haven’t won, this is to be continued for the sake of all the residents of Skagit County and all the creators of trust documents.

I know what you have done, and are doing. It is time the people of Skagit County know who you are and what you are doing.

Anyone else may think what they like, however, I would ask the people who have met me and dealt with me personally as well as those who worked with me and who used my services if what they have read in the newspapers, what was given to the newspapers by the WSBA and certain other sources about what has transpired involving me with & in the courts; – Does this at all go with your idea of the person that YOU know me to be? The person who once had a stellar reputation, the one who sat across from you, spoke with you, counseled you, went to school with or picked strawberries or dug bulbs or waited tables with?

If it doesn’t then ask yourself, WHY?. There is a story here and it isn’t me.

Respectfully,

Rosemary Kamb

*Just to clarify to all you good Catholics in Skagit Valley. The Arch Diocese of Seattle is running a Bank. Your Catholic School Endowment was established to keep school funds out of the hands of the Arch Diocese in Seattle and here locally. Over the past thirty years the Arch Diocese has done what it could to access the school’s endowment by controlling the funds. This was never the intent of the Endowment. The law suit filed against me by the lawyers of the Arch Diocese who made all kinds of nefarious & unethical allegations against me was heard in Federal Court and all of the allegations were by a preponderance of the evidence were found to be unfounded, but that did not stop any of you from believing the original lies and it cost the school payments on a convertible contract at a much higher interest rate than what the Arch Diocese was willing to give the school. The Arch D has a conflict of interest with the school and forwarded their own agenda which cost the school dearly. Whether you believe it or not. The proof is in the baptismal font. But for true guilty feelings over her false actions, frivolous lawsuit and likely the impending fear of all good Catholics, that of burning in hell; there would be no new baptismal font in Mount Vernon’s new church. Omissions of truth are lies just the same and your money cannot wash away the origin you’re cowardice and lies have caused. YOU know who you are and you know what you have done, and the rest of you don’t know the facts, but certainly that hasn’t stopped anyone from talking and gossiping and drawing conclusions however inaccurate these may be.

One local news reporter said to us ” Snohomish County is screwed!” His statement came right after records were released from Snohomish County Prosecutor’s office showing two compeling factors:

1. In every self insured county in Washington State, there are “Nazis” who are placed in high positions, mainly prosecutors/lawyers, whose job it is to go after attorneys who question or sue government agencies; and

2. County employee Nazi spies are all members of the WA State Bar Office of Disciplinary Council.

We are working on a very big RICO scandal involving high ranking members of Washington County government who are all connected to the Washington State Bar’s Office of Diciplinary Council.

We have a hypothesis that we’re working on, but at this stage we are confident to report that WE are going to break the LARGEST RICO SCANDAL In United States history and it will reform the Washington State Bar and every self insured agency in Washington State.

My name is Alan F. Hall. I am the Petitioner in the captioned matter. I am also a lawyer who has been practicing law in Washington State since 1974. I am 70 years old.

The first 25 years of my practice centered in litigation. As a litigator I have approximately 40 trials to my credit. Most of those trials occurred in King County Superior Court and Snohomish County Superior Court. The cases in those courts of general jurisdiction were before juries. I also have four reported cases at the appellate level the most notable of which established the current ruling on landlord/tenant law in Washington State. (Muci v. Graoch)

As a litigator in Washington State’s Superior Courts I experienced the importance of court rules, how they apply to both sides of a case and the consequences of when a participant does not follow those rules. A litigator can do damage to himself, his client and our system of jurisprudence without strict compliance.

I respected this system very much and found I could successfully operate within it.

Then, around 2002, I was confronted with a grievance against me and I became intimate with the Washington Rules of Professional Conduct and the rules relating to lawyer discipline. That is not to say I was not familiar with them before this event. It is that a grievance makes you want to reexamine them. I also reviewed the oath I took upon being admitted to the practice of law.

I did a little more digging on these issues and found that the Washington State Supreme Court is the branch of our State government that is responsible for enforcing the Rules of Professional Conduct, Rules of Enforcement of Lawyer Conduct and indirectly our oath as attorneys. Those rules were created by the Supreme Court pursuant to legislative authority from another branch of our government, the Washington State Legislature.

I also learned that the scheme of jurisdictional procedure that the Supreme Court imposes on the discipline of lawyers is called Sui Generis. Black’s Law Dictionary (1968 edition) defines Sui Generis: “Of its own kind or class, i.e., the only one of its own kind, peculiar.”

At this stage of my quest to learn more about the process of disciplining lawyers in Washington state, I felt comfortable with the system. After all, doctors are regulated; dentists are regulated, as are the police.

But then an interesting thing happened. I learned how the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC), the enforcement arm of the Supreme Court, defines sui generis and I did not like it. If fact I found it frightening as a threat to our democracy, disingenuous, unfair and likely to promote a cadre of minions capable of staffing potential governmental enforcement agencies capable of doing great harm to our democracy.

Respectfully, the history of enforcement agencies is replete with similar phenomenon of Sui Generis at various stages of development that compare with the stage of development that our Sui Generis system is now in. One has to look no further than pre WW II Germany. If you want to see how a fifth stage Sui Generis system operates watch the Movie SophieScholl one of the most famous members of the German World War II anti Nazi resistance movement, The White Rose. Pay close attention to how the lawyers behave in that movie.

Very harsh words, but they are carefully chosen particularly after my substantial observations stemming from two Washington State Bar Association ODC hearings on grievances filed against me. In fact I would say the referenced post 1933 Weimar Republic Germany model only differs from the Washington State’s Supreme Court’s Sui Generis system in that the Washington State’s Sui Generis system does not allow for torture and execution. Yet.

I make these bold statements on observed verifiable and well documented facts.

The first hearing in which I was involved the Grievant was represented by her personal attorney Elizabeth Turner Smith. The problem was that Ms. Smith was either applying for employment with the ODC or working for the ODC at the same time she was representing the Grievant. I learned about this half way through the hearing and did not know what to make of it at the time. Then I thought about it after the fact and believed it to be a clear violation of the appearance of fairness doctrine and the RPCs relating to conflict of interest and candor to the Court. If Ms. Smith was applying for a job with the ODC, then how could she possibly make impartial decisions relating to her client?

It occurred to me she was using her representation of the grievant as part of her job application with the ODC. And the ODC was condoning her violation of rules relating to conflict of interest. She should have told the hearing officer of her status with the ODC.

I also learned that my insurance company would mediate the claim the grievant had but that if I pled guilty to the grievance I would lose coverage. So the Bar Association offered to mediate this case but Ms. Smith refused. Was she acting in the best interest of her client or was she continuing her job application?

I was found to have violated the rule relating to diligence. And in fact my diligence had cost my client $10,000. An honest mistake that I would have admitted to if I would not lose coverage. I was paying approximately $500 per month for coverage. I maintained coverage for my entire career. So, instead of settling this case, Ms. Smith choose to go thru three days of hearing with her client, use the resources of the Bar Association and waste my time.

My response to this was to file a complaint against Ms. Smith. She replied on Bar Association letter head. You can guess how that turned out.

I claimed she had violated the RPC rule requiring ODC lawyers to act in good faith. At one time there was a rule that stated ODC lawyers had to act in good faith. I learned that the ODC had that language removed from the rule without any hearing.

That event caused me great stress to think that a State Supreme Court authorized agency could violate their own rules like that and get away with it. Further it appears they can modify the RPC rules to suit their own behavior without a hearing.

One positive was that I began to learn what the Office of Defense Counsel’s definition of Sui Generis was.

But there was more.

A grievance was filed against me in 2010. The ODC sat on the issues for about 5 months. I called and asked for my files back. They had asked for the original documents when the grievance was filed and, in writing, promised to return them upon request.

I called up and asked for the files back and was told by Francesca D’Angelo, an attorney with the ODC, that I would be lucky if I got a copy of them back. At this point I had been paying dues into this organization for approximately 38 years. I expected more professionalism.

And so the definition of Sui Generis starts to flesh out.

The grievance that was filed against me is the subject of the captioned petition. By that point both of my clients had passed away and, interestingly, the ODC never statementized them.

During the first hearing I began to get an in depth observation of the ODC Sui Generis.

The ODC has access to volunteer lawyers. I did not.

The ODC has access to volunteer experts. I did not.

I requested the hearing officer to allow me access to the volunteer experts so that I could find an expert. Denied.

The Hearing Officer on oral spontaneous motion grated ODC’s motion to prevent any of my testimony of my relationship with the grievant based on the dead man’s statute. This was overturned in the second hearing.

I tried to hire counsel. They all wanted $350 per hour. I could not afford that.

Randolph Petgrave was the Hearing Officer. He should have recused himself because his father and I were friends from college. I asked him to do this in the first trial. He refused. In fact, Mr. Petgrave the elder coincidently was nominated to be the hearing officer in my first grievance. He recused himself.

Whatever Petgrave the younger is, he is not a jurist.

The ODC has institutional knowledge as to the proclivity of the hearing officers. Are they plaintiff oriented or defense oriented? This is vitally important information. Lawyers do not have access to that information.

The whole sui generis thing was turning into a farce.

I learned that I could have a lawyer appointed for me if I could not represent myself. As that point what choice did I have?

Even then Sui Generis gets more farcical.

At the second hearing I had counsel. He was intimately tied to the Bar Association. In fact as far as I know the Bar Association is his only source of income

My lawyer tells me that the volunteer expert for the state is lawyer Barbara Isenhower. He further tells me that her husband is John Strait an ethics professor at one of the local law schools. I also learn that Barbara and her ethics professor husband want to use my case, assuming I am found guilty, in Mr. Strait’s ethics class.

The Will and the Trust agreement admitted into evidence name Nancy Caputo, the grievant’s niece as contingent beneficiary of an estate worth about $400,000. It also comes out that the client’s ex-wife, Linda Orf, the one who files the grievance, through the help of Jamie Clausen ends up with every penny of the estate pursuant to Jamie Clausen’s legal work. Ms. Clausen names herself as Trust Protector which is exactly what she claims I did in my documents.

Jamie Clausen testifies. But there is no testimony from Lind Orf, or any affidavits from the clients. In fact the grievance is not even entered into evidence. That is because it was filed by Linda Orf.

The Hearing Officer finds that my testimony is not credible even though the ODC never put my credibility in issue.

ER Rule 608 governs the procedure for attacking credibility. It was not followed by the ODC or the Hearing Officer. In fact the highly respected research tool BING responds vary favorably to the query: “How to impeach witness’s credibility before an administrative agency?” The internet tome on impeaching credibility is found in

E-How and the article is “How to Challenge Witness Credibility before MSPB.” Therein lies the step by step process for impeaching credibility before any agency including the ODC. Again Mr. Petgrave’s reasoning is unsupported by any legally recognized rule relating to this issue.

In a word what I observed was a genetic mutation in the fabric of our democracy, our judicial system and our constitution. The Washington State Supreme Court’s Sui Generis system has the potential to spread into a very destructive cancer and apoptosis is in order.

Conclusion:

There is a very compelling saying: “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.” Sui Generis as it is practiced by the Washington State Bar Association should be removed. But that is not enough.

Lawyers must organize. The police have a guild, why can’t lawyers? Right now they have the highest rate of suicides amongst any profession. They are easy targets for any malcontent client and of course sole practitioners are the low hanging fruit of choice for the ODC. Further, lawyers are losing ground in the fields that they can practice in.

As I mentioned I am 70 years old. I do not want to get suspended or disbarred. Yet at my age what the hell difference does it make?

What I am most concerned about is our democracy. I am equally concerned about the younger lawyers. In fact I think they have a good cause of action against their so called ethics professors for not teaching Sui Generis in law schools. I suspect if potential law students were told about Sui Generis they would not want to even go to law school.

I wouldn’t.

I request that you think about it. Imagine yourself as a beginning lawyer, you are married and maybe have a child or two. Then you are confronted by Sui Generis. If you are reprimanded your reputation is ruined forever. It is just too easy for the ODC to win and bully you into submission.

Finally, it is noted I am on non-disciplinary suspension and have been for approximately three years even though the ODC stipulated I could continue to practice during the course of this Sui Generis process.

As soon as I went on non-disciplinary suspension the Bar Association stripped me of my Bar membership without any hearing. I no longer had access to the Bar News or research facilities that I had paid dues for 38 years to support. This greatly hindered my effort to do research and keep up on lawyer news that might have been helpful to my case.

Because of all this I believe that there should be an innocence project. I suggest that any lawyer either living or dead who as ever been admonished, reprimanded of disbarred have their case reviewed. If they were not afforded adequate representation or were subject to abuses spelled out herein, then the decision should be reversed.

One final observation: The ODC lawyer handling the opposition to my appeal, Scott Busby, continues to mislead the tribunal. He claims I was being paid to $2,000 per quarter to administer a Trust with only $49.00 dollars in it. This is totally false and misleading. All one has to do is read the Trust to find out what my very substantial duties were.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED THIS day of _______ 2014.
